LAKE SHELBYVILLE COTTAGE MINUTES FROM BOATING, HUNTING, AND FISHING, Sleeps 2

The BLACKLOG CORNER COTTAGE is a quaint little cottage that gets its name from an old school that used to sit on this corner way back in the day when kids walked "up hill" both ways to school with no shoes on in the dead of winter...... so that's how the old story goes. It also sits on the old road that went from Shelbyville to Vandalia back in the "dirt road" days. Today the corner's roads are called Co. Road 1000 North and Illinois State highway 128. It is also setting just 400 feet from the Pond Shore Lodge (listing 1351741) and The Pond Pavillion INN (listing 2769008) if you need additional lodging. There is a 10 day maximum stay.

The cottage is nestled among trees with a peaceful country setting. There's a patio, fire pit, and charcoal grill. It has ample parking for many vehicles, boats, and trailers and has a stocked fishing pond within walking distance from your door for your enjoyment. There is also parking at the pond so you can drive there if you would like to.

There is a full eat in kitchen with all the pots, pans, dishes and utensils you will need to prepare a delicious meal. The kitchen has a full size refrigerator so you can stock your own food and beverages.

There is a stand-up shower in the bathroom and a laundry room with full size washer and dryer for your convenience.

The cottage has one bedroom with 1 queen bed.

Cozy Cabin for Two

The wife and I spend a few days away from the family and had a wonderful time. The cabin was clean, modern looking, and plenty of room for the two of us. We enjoyed bar-b-queuing on the patio and having a place outside of town to relax.

Great stay!

We were in town visiting family, and decided to rent the cottage. The host was very attentive and friendly. The cottage was very clean and felt like home. There’s an outdoor fire pit that we didn’t use. But the grill we definitely used. It was such a great experience, so quiet and comfortable. I highly recommend this place for anyone passing through town, or for anyone wanting to do a staycation.
